It looks like Casablancas' solo career

I stopped the video three times in the first 2 minutes because I was repeatedly convinced that this was somebody's sick idea of a parody. Glad to see it was somebody's sick idea for an episode.

@NaturalBlues:disqus , Joyce sends his regards, asks that people draw his tie properly.

I buy them because I like the feel and sound of them when they're played in my car or home stereo, and because I want to actually own the physical copy of the music, no matter how flawed or impractical it may be. The bands in my area suck, though.

Ah yes, those marvels of compact pressure tension. I came upon a similar crisis when I bought the cheap-ass version of The Holy Grail and could feel the hairline fissures opening as that small piece of plastic held on while I tried to pull it out. From then on, I push on the center whenever I pull one out, like…

Okay, if I can get something off of my chest:
I still collect cd's. I have bought more cd's in the past year than I did between the ages of 15 and 18. Thin, thick, double-sided, cd/dvd, SACD, etc. Now, while the thinner cd's do indeed feel frail and brittle in one's fingers as it's removed from its case, they are still…

In principle, I am against the use of nostalgia bombs in commercial warfare, especially since I believe repeated itinerant attacks are what keep U2 in the skies above the US.

Not gonna lie, that line had me laughing and giggling throughout the commercial break.

"You know, you remind me of a poem I can't remember, and a song that may never have existed, and a place I'm not sure I've ever been to."

I want other junk! Is it new?

God, I love Malick's voice-overs. This, along with devising the right soundtrack for a movie, are my current cinematographic obsessions. How can you add just enough of the character's own voice on top of the visual representation and still have them work on separate but complementary levels? How do you reach that…

You are going to enjoy the rest of Season 1, but you're going to love Season 2.

No, the BJ and Tommy storylines were spread out over the last 3 episodes, their dad's visit took over 14 and 15, while Kate's college experience and Tommy's and BJ's (and Ben's) love lives took over episodes 15 and 16. It was all much too thin and rushed to be considered a proper finale. What's worse is that, given…

Sigh, Ben and Kate ended with a pathetic whimper last night. Episodes 14 and 15 were alright, not the best the show had done, but had the same style and comedic timing that the rest of the season had become reliable with. The finale was disappointing, and I can't help but see in it the dead end that the previous two…

Oh yeah, Warehouse 13 was a show…that's still on the air.

So, the new episode. After having mulled over the first five, not in an over-analytic way but more of a "this made me laugh as much as I would like, no more and no less," this new episode has me thinking a bit about the series' progress since the first season. Whereas the last two "documentary film" episodes saw all…

I saw it as a sweet moment that Carrie would choose to acknowledge and embrace Sebastian in front of the publisher (who could have cut a more menacing figure, but was decidedly cut short). As Carrie points out, it's a practical and natural choice to reinforce her current relationship with him rather than endanger it…

Yeah, after having spent a few minutes rethinking Mouse's character, I believe that she wouldn't be the sort of girl to have one of those "Are you as turned on as I am?" moments that I felt was coming on during the last episode. I do hope that they at least keep up her rivalry with West, something which this episode…

This is the fourth episode (I think) I've watched of this series and, frankly, I have been seeing a little of that lack of balance that is mentioned at the beginning of the review. And, to be honest, this was probably the first episode where the series actually paid off some of the storylines that have been running…

Also, fast-forwarding SPOILERS, I love how this theme of the delicate balance of mother-daughter relations returns when Richard's mother, the High Lorelai, comes and offers Lorelai, the second, a way out of her commitment.
